Early Childhood Voices Conference

The Early Childhood Voices Conference is an international interdisciplinary conference providing a platform to share research about innovative methods, theories and partnerships with children, families and practitioners that supports social justice during early childhood and within the early childhood sector.

ECV is a free biennial conference organised by the Charles Sturt University Children’s Voices Centre (previously Early Childhood Interdisciplinary Research Group) as an opportunity to present research in a virtual online space.

ECV2024 is online and asynchronous. There is no registration fee and no fees to present or view the presentations due to Charles Sturt University’s motto “For the public good”.
